Location: Destiny Palace, Tact-1 Neighbourhood.
Jahad and Ri knelt on one knee and spoke about what had happened:
“Your majesty, Uta and Hoax have been brought back from Tone’s household, May I request your attention about this matter?” Jahad asked, her voice trembling from fear.
Chaos Destiny turned around.
“Where are they?” He asked.
“They are behind me, your majesty. They have been knocked out,” Ri said.
“Did I ask you, Ri?” Chaos Destiny turned his head around, looking towards Ri.
“I’m sorry, your majesty.” Ri bent his head down.
Chaos Destiny used one of his tacts to take Uta and Hoax to the Experiment Room. For Chaos Destiny, his children were just experiment test subjects. Although Chaos Destiny did keep them happy, that was only for one reason: To use them as test subjects for his big experiment, the reason he had become the president of Vzaltori.
…
Tone was at the Olma Training Grounds, he had not yet recieved the news about Uta and Hoax’s abduction. Uryu was training him for the worst, he was making him suffer more than anyone or anything ever but that was exactly what Tone needed to experience to be able to fight at desperate situations. He had not yet begun his training on unlocking his strongest form, he was not ready for that yet as Uryu told him. The day was the final day of the week, he had his match-up with Uryu Parakko today.
“Ready?” Uryu asked, smiling.
“More than ever,” Tone smiled.
He went for the first move, jumping high up and creating a makeshift sword with his tact base 2: earth style. He threw it towards Uryu, who was able to easily dodge the attack. Tone was going to use the next attack as a decoy so that he could sneak up on Uryu but he was too smart for it. Uryu immediately teleported behind Tone and kept his sword at his throat.
“Loss 1, Tone. Today’s not going good for you, is it?” Uryu asked.
“shut up,” Tone said, scratching his head. He did not know what was wrong with him.
“Something bothering you?” Uryu asked.
“I feel like…something big just happened,” Tone said, answering Uryu’s question.
“Now is not the time to be worrying about that type of stuff, Tone. You got to focus, you do want to protect your friends, right? You are not even close to being able to use your strongest form,” Uryu lectured Tone.
“I know, I know. I just feel like this isn’t working,” Tone said.
Uryu laughed. “If you really want results, consistency is key,” He smiled.
“Alright…Time for round 2,” Tone smiled.
…
Uta woke up. Hoax was sitting there, looking at something when he finally noticed that Uta had woke up.
“did we get caught?” Uta asked.
“We’ve been capture by the ones we lost to.” Hoax said.
“Jahad and Ri, huh?” Uta said.
“Yep,” Hoax said. His mind was racing with thoughts. How were they going to get out of there? Was it even possible? He knew that they were at The Experiment Room which had tightly locked doors and security all around it. Leaving this place was impossible…but infiltrating it was another thing all together. There were 14 different ways to get inside this room but only 13 to go outside. All of the ones which provided escape were blocked but the 14th door had no security. Maybe…he could get a letter to Tone and tell him to save them but how? How was he going to get the letter outside of this room? It clicked. Dawn/Dusk would be most essential in getting the letter out. Using Dawn/Dusk’s Tranquil Embrace, he can make one of Chaos Destiny’s officer to get this letter to Tone. Perfect.
“What are you thinking about, Hoax?” Uta asked.
“Do you think…that if we wrote a letter to Tone that we have been capture, do you think he’ll come to save us?” Hoax asked, looking towards Uta with a worried expression.
“He will definitely come to save us but, how do you plan on getting the letter out of here and do you really think Tone could beat all of the guards? Even if he could…they will, i mean it, they will notify Chaos Destiny. We can’t beat him.” Uta replied.
“We can get the letter to him through Dawn/Dusk’s Tranquil Embrace but for the second question, I don’t have an answer.” Hoax said.
“Well…we can try. Tone is very strong.” Uta smiled.
“It is worth a shot,” Hoax said.
“So now…our life depends on Tone, doesn’t it?” Uta asked.
“It does,” Hoax replied.
They were going to carry out this plan of theirs as night arrived. That would be when the Tranquil Embrace be most effective. Sure, Hoax could change the time but that would not have the same effect as using Tranquil Embrace during natural time change.
If all went well, there was a 100% chance that Tone would be coming to save them.
…
Uryu had one goal in his mind during Tone’s training: To finish as soon as possible. At the rate Tone was progressing, he could very well finish his training within a week. That was his normal training, he would need a month to unlock his strongest form.
At the rate Tone was progressing, he would need a month and 7 days to achieve Ascension God, the true end of his training. Ascension God was the boost of power a person gets when they finish their training with their respective teacher. It wasn’t the strongest form of the user by any means but, it enhanced their overall physical, mental, and tactual abilities.
At their lunch time that day, Uryu and Tone sat at the same table.
“How am I doing, master?” Tone asked.
“At this rate, you can finish your training within a month and a week,” Uryu smiled.
Tone jumped in joy.
“Are you serious?” He asked.
“Yes, yes. I am,” Uryu replied, continuing to smile. Tone was overjoyed. He could go back to his friends so soon.
But what was about to arrive…would change the course of his life.
…
Hoax and Uta were put into a detention center for violating rule 24 of their house: trying to escape the Destiny Palace. The Detention Center: a place very much similiar to Ri’s realm, a white room with nothing, nothing at all. They were surrounded by four walls covered in white, even their dresses were white. They had already sent out the letter but it would take a long time to reach Tone: approximately 1 month. Hoax and Uta should try very hard not to die before then. Chaos Destiny was going to put them through hell for trying to escape. Uta definitely didn’t want another artifical power-up inside her body. Both of them couldn’t do anything anymore. Their lives depended on Tone from now on. They didn’t even know if Relin was awake yet. All they could do now was hope.
…
Tone’s fight with Uryu was over. Obviously, he had lost but the scores had changed from usual. It was 2-1 rather than 3-0. The difference in the score was what made Uryu think that maybe Tone could unlock his strongest form within a month of training.
Tone had to continue with his training even though he was exhausted. This was how exhausting this special training could get. After his final rep of pull-ups, he had his mental training and soon, he completed his pull-ups. He had craved this training throughout the whole day.
4 hours of meditation but before that, he had to eat dinner. So they did…Tone’s improvement was discussed and what things he could do to further improve. After thaat, Tone had to go sit outside on a rock facing the moon by the shore and meditate. He left the house and reached the rock before starting to meditate. During his meditation, he was not supposed to think about anything but the safety of his friends was just racing inside his mind. He knew that something bad had happened but he couldn't leave just yet. It was just a month more, only a month. His mind slowly calmed down and his thoughts were lost. In the end, his mind went quiet. He had lost all thoughts, just emptiness remained. He loved it when it was like this, nothing but the soothing sound of the ocean waves crashing at the seashore. Trees rustling behind him as he sat on top of the rock. The blinding light of the moon lighting up the whole sea. When he opened his eyes, the horizon was clearly visible. The night sky's horizon, an aurora had arrived at the spot, making the scenery more beautiful than it already was. At the center of it all sat, Tone, smiling at this beautiful scenery. He didn't get to see stuff like this many times in his life but when it arrived, he was glad it did.
The night's horizon had taken Tone in awe. The aurora had complete control of Tone. He would back here again tomorrow but what was going to happen in this same exact spot, will change his life. Although he was enjoying this scenery, fate and destiny had other plans for him, plans which would make him hate this place and the time left for that happening: approximately 1 month.
